Council welcomes grant for next southern feeder stage
21 June 2018
Orange City Council has welcomed the announcement in the state budget that the NSW Government will contribute $4.6 million towards Stage Four of the Southern feeder road project.
Orange Deputy Mayor Cr Joanne McRae said Stage 4 of the project would see the building of a 2.1 km section of new road from Anson Street, west to Pinnacle Road.
“It’s good to be working in partnership with the State Government to deliver this key piece of transport infrastructure for the people of Orange,” Cr Joanne McRae said.
The estimated total cost of the project is around $9.2 million. The project will depend on additional funding and the council will be exploring potential sources.
“Work will begin as soon as that funding is secured. It’s very pleasing, and exciting to see Orange supported through this funding announcement. The hard work for council will continue in order to secure the additional funding required to deliver the whole project.
NEXT STAGE : Stage 4 of the southern feeder road project would run west from the completed Anson Street corner to Pinnacle Road.
“The council has been preparing for this project for some time, and council already owns land in the path of the new road.”
The southern feeder is designed as a link road connecting different parts of Orange with the hospital precinct. It will also help to ease traffic pressure on Peisley Street and be an extra entrance into the new Shiralee housing area.
